No one is making you watch. And the rest of us enjoy good outrageous storytelling, even if an historical character is misused in the process. No one owns Lizzie Borden or her story. Expect a completely unfamiliar Fall River, Massachusetts, fictional characters who never existed but resemble real ones, and axions (pun intended)\u00a0by Lizzie that tax the imagination. All in the name of entertainment. I am all for it.<\/p>\n<p>Reports the release from Lifetime: &#8220;<i>The Lizzie Borden Chronicles<\/i>\u00a0delivers <strong>an intense and fictionalized account<\/strong> of actual events and people surrounding Lizzie\u2019s life after her controversial acquittal of the horrific double murder of her father and stepmother in 1892, when the exonerated figure lives a life awash in newfound celebrity filled with scandalous love affairs. But when numerous people close to Lizzie \u2013 ranging from her half-brother William (Andrew Howard,\u00a0<i>Hatfields &amp; McCoys<\/i><sup>\u2122<\/sup>) to Broadway luminaries and her business associate\/underworld kingpin Mr. Flowers (Emmy nominee Jonathan Banks, <em>Breaking Bad<\/em>) \u2013 start to mysteriously die under brutal and strange circumstances, legendary Pinkerton detective Charlie Siringo (Cole Hauser,\u00a0<i>Good Will Hunting<\/i>) becomes determined to prove her involvement in their ultimate demise. Jessy Schram (<i>Falling Skies<\/i>) plays Nancy O\u2019Keefe, an alluring and ambitious actress and dancer who befriends Lizzie, and Emmy nominee John Heard (<i>The Sopranos<\/i>) portrays William Almy, the business partner of Lizzie\u2019s murdered father, Andrew.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I, for one, am looking forward to the show.
